The first webinar on November 18th introduced the existing Memorandum of Understanding between Polar Knowledge Canada and the Icelandic Arctic Cooperation Network and highlighted some examples of recent research collaboration. The MoU provides a framework for enhancing future collaboration in scientific research and technological development and the pursuit of opportunities that will lead to the creation of mutually beneficial, collaborative, and multidisciplinary projects in Arctic research.
